What it is	This program teaches you how economies work and how to manage money and investments at personal, business, and government levels. Unlike a straight economics program, it combines both fields so you study market behaviour alongside practical financial analysis and decision-making. It suits people who want to understand how money moves through the world and are interested in applying that knowledge to real careers in banking, policy, or corporate finance.	Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field.	This is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals. Unlike a four-year bachelor's degree, it gets you working faster with practical skills employers want immediately. It suits students who want hands-on business training without the length or theory-heavy focus of a university degree.	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.
